Sky-High Phone Number

"Ninety-six thousand for a year."

"Wow!" Despite being mentally prepared, Ye Chen still gasped at the number.

But it made sense. With 1,600 square meters here, the property fee of fifty yuan per square meter per month amounted to eighty thousand a month, totaling ninety-six thousand for a year.

"Let's pay for two years! Pay off the previous arrears first, then pay for another year."

"Okay, okay." One of the staff hurriedly nodded upon hearing Ye Chen's decision to pay for two years upfront.

After paying the property fee, Ye Chen asked, "Do we have butler services here?"

"Mr. Ye, our community provides butler services 24/7. Is there anything you need?"

"Have someone clean up here, inside and out. How much would that cost?"

The property staff knew the area of ​​the house, so without hesitation, they said, "Sixteen thousand."

"Alright, sixteen thousand. Make sure it's cleaned up by tomorrow night."

"No problem."

After the property staff left, Ye Chen began to inspect the house. The decoration and layout were no different from the previous three villas.

If there was any difference, it was that this one was slightly larger. After inspecting the interior, Ye Chen went outside to check the garage.

There were still three cars in the garage: a Koenigsegg, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and an Aston Martin DBX.

Of course, apart from the Rolls-Royce, the other two cars were found through Baidu. It couldn't be helped; Ye Chen wasn't well-informed!

After inspecting everything, Ye Chen went back into the villa and to the master bedroom. He packed all the items in the master bedroom's cloakroom into the car.

It was the same items: custom-made clothing, high-end watches, brooches, leather shoes, belts, and so on.

Seeing that the trunk wasn't full yet, Ye Chen drove to Mingzhu Garden Villa Area in Chongwen. He intended to take everything from there too.

These were all meant to be rented out. It was better to take them sooner rather than later. Who knew if he would have the time later?

When Ye Chen arrived, he saw people everywhere in the villa, clearly the cleaning service personnel.

There were at least dozens of them, no wonder the fee was so high. Just the wages for these people would be substantial!

"Mr. Ye." Seeing Ye Chen, a property staff member, who was possibly supervising, hurried over.

"Yes! I'm here to take some things."

"Alright, do you need me to arrange for someone to help?"

"No need."

"Okay."

Ye Chen went straight to the cloakroom, packed all the clothes, shoes, watches, brooches, and other items into the car.

After looking at the workers helping with the cleaning, Ye Chen drove away. On his way back to Fengsheng Garden, he stopped at a phone store.

He wasn't there to buy a phone but to buy a number, specifically one for contacting tenants. Many people knew his current phone number, and it wouldn't be good if someone saw it.

That's why he hadn't listed these two villas online yet. He planned to get a new phone number before doing so.

The previous listings were deleted after renting out the houses.

"How much for this number?" Ye Chen pointed to a number with a negotiable price tag inside the counter and asked.

"Um..." The store clerk glanced at Ye Chen and then busied themselves with something else, probably judging Ye Chen's appearance and guessing he couldn't afford it.

This was mainly because they hadn't seen Ye Chen's car. Ye Chen had parked it more than ten meters away from the store earlier because it was the only empty parking spot. Otherwise, the clerk's attitude might have been different.

The number had four eights in its tail. Ye Chen wasn't too particular about phone numbers, but now that he was renting out properties, especially villas, having a good number would make people more trusting.

Seeing the male clerk ignoring him, Ye Chen asked the female clerk next to him, "Hello, how much is this number?"

The female clerk glanced at Ye Chen and walked over to take a look before saying, "This number is ninety-six thousand."

"I'll take it."

Ninety-six thousand yuan was just the property fee for one villa for a month. In the past, Ye Chen might not have even glanced at it, but now, ninety-six thousand didn't even make him blink.

"Ah!" The female clerk was startled. This was ninety-six thousand yuan! He agreed without even negotiating the price.

"Sir, are you sure?"

"Sure, I'll pay by card." Ye Chen took out his bank card and handed it over.

"Alright, alright." The female clerk took the bank card and swiped it. When she saw the balance on the card, she covered her mouth in astonishment.

"Sir, here's your card. I'll process it for you right away."

As for the male clerk, his face was hard to look at now. If there wasn't anyone around, he might have slapped himself a few times.

Don't think it was just selling a phone number. But what kind of number was it? Just now, that ninety-six thousand yuan number's commission alone was more than his two months' salary.
